“As a city, whether it locates to
Baytown or not, we’re always in-
terested in the preservation of our
national and Texas history. We just
need to be open and consider all op-

“The Battleship Texas doesn’t

Moore said his path to be-
coming the first member of
his family to graduate from
college came through ath-
letics.
“College was not talked
about in my household un-
til my senior year of high
school when I started re-
ceiving phone calls from
basketball coaches.”
While he was recruiting
by Texas schools such as
University of Texas El Paso
and Sam Houston State, he
eventually went to a small
private college in Arkansas,
Philander Smith College,
where he played basketball
and got a degree in mathe-
matics.
His 30-year career in
higher education started at
a two-year college in Ar-
kansas and has also taken
him to institutions in Tex-
as and West Virginia. All
of that time has been in
comprehensive two-year
colleges except for a two-
year stint as president of
his alma mater, Philander
Smith.
He said going to a small
private college gave him
the experience of a small
institution committed to
providing a pathway for
student success, which is
the model he sees for com-
munity colleges.
